Truncating Large (Huge) SQL Database Logs in SQL 2012.
** THIS SHOULD ONLY be done is you are okay loosing data should your data disk go bad. Not recommended for high-integrity data. ** Recommended for a temporary queue system.
First change recovery model to
In Enterprise Manager, right click on the db Properties
===＞ Option
==＞ Recovery
change:
Full ==＞ Simple
Then run the following:
DBCC SHRINKFILE( DATABASEName_log, TRUNCATEONLY)
The nice thing about this method is that it goes extremely fast; the operations are sub-second, as compared to backup operations which take very long. This is helpful when taking on urgent out of disk space issues.

During our Microsoft SharePoint 2010 configuration class, Senior Technical Instructor Doug Bassett discussed how transaction logs are used in a variety of products, including SQL, SharePoint and Exchange.

Running out of disk space on your Exchange Server from transactional logs? In this video, Anthony walks us through how you can enable circular logging to cut down on the amount of space those transactional logs take up. You'll see Anthony use commands like Get-DBPathStats and Set-MailboxDatabase to make it happen.

In this video demonstration we will see how to create mailbox database in exchange 2016 using Exchange Admin Center (EAC).Mailbox Database is a major component of Exchange 2016.It is the .edb database file where all the mailboxes are stored.
To create mailbox database in Exchange 2016, you have to log on to Exchange Admin Center (EAC).

It happens often enough in the SMB space that this quick video how to was warranted. SharePoint uses SQL Server. SQL Server has databases. Those databases have log files. Those logfiles can get quite big if not properly maintained or if backup software doesn't do its job to inform SQL that the logfiles can be truncated (shrunk) after a successful backup has been performed, when a database is set to use the "Full" recovery type.
This short video shows how to change the database recovery type, shrink the database and then put it back the way it was...
Hope it helps someone out there.

This video will show you how to move MS Exchange Server database from one drive/Folder to another.
I will highly recommend you to move your Mailbox database from system drive to any other drive. By using the log you can retrieve the database contents if system crashes.
In my case i am using Virtual Machine VM , I do not have second drive on my machine so i will change the location from one folder to another folder. But for the drive process is the same.

Basic steps to configure Exchange LogParser database settings.
In this video you'll see how to configure database connection
and how to use other controls later to specify the tables where
event logs and customers data will be stored, as well as the
names of the columns in those tables that will contain each
piece of information contained in log files and messages.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication with Exchange Log Truncation provides an option to delete (aka truncate) the logs after a successful backup to avoid log files consuming all of the available disk space. This feature is purely agentless and works right out of the box. Exchange Server database transaction logs record all changes to an Exchange Server database.

In this video we will see how to relocate active directory database and log files to another location in Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Controller.
We will change AD database and log files path from default location (%systemroot%\NTDS) to another Disk Drive.

This video illustrates how to take Transaction Log backup (T-Log) of a database in sql server 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2014 using SQL Server management studio as well as using T-SQL script. It shows step by step going through different options of the T-Log backup such as General, media option and Backup options. You will learn how to verify Transaction Log backup and perform check sum before writing to the media.

Lab 2: Configuring Mailbox Servers
Scenario
You must configure the executive’s database so that the mailbox does not send or receive messages after the mailbox size reaches 1,024 MB. Additionally, you should ensure that a warning is sent to users if their mailbox reaches 850 MB.
The main tasks for this exercise are:
1. Create a new database for the Executive mailboxes.
2. Configure the Executive mailbox database with appropriate limits.
3. Move the existing Accounting database to a new location.
► Task 1: Create a new database for the Executive mailboxes
1. On VAN-EX1, open the Exchange Management Console.
2. Create a new database named Executive on VAN-EX1.
3. Store database files in C:\Mailbox\Executive.
4. Store log files in C:\Mailbox\Executive.

Managing Exchange Server 2016 servers
Exchange shell commands used in video:
1)Get-MailboxDatabase
2)Move-DatabasePath –Identity “MB1” –EdbFilePath E:\DB1\DB1.edb –LogFolderPath G:\Logs\DB1
3)Set-MailboxDatabase –identity MB2 –DeletedItemRetention 20.00:00:00 –CircularLoggingEnabled $true –4)ProhibitSendQuota 2.2GB
Dismount-Database –identity MB2
Mount-Database –identity MB2
Exercise details: Creating and configuring mailbox databases
Scenario
Currently, the Mailbox server has no locally attached storage for the mailbox database. You have available iSCSI storage for the mailbox databases and logs. These drives will be sufficient for the initial deployment at A. Datum, but the organization expects to add several additional iSCSI drives during the deployment. You need to configure Windows Server 2016 to connect to the iSCSI drives, and configure storage for the mailbox databases and logs.
You need to modify the location and configuration of the default mailbox database to meet the corporate standards. The database should have a warning limit set to 0.9 gigabytes (GB), prohibit send at 1.0 GB, and prohibit send and receive at 2.2 GB.
In addition to the default mailbox database, you also need to create a new mailbox database to meet the deployment requirements. You should place the new mailbox database on the iSCSI drive and enable circular logging. You also need to set different limits and retention time periods from the default database.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Configure iSCSI storage for the Mailbox server.
2. Configure mailbox settings for an existing database.
3. Create and configure additional mailbox databases.
